INDIAN ELOQUENCE.
Sitting Bull Said to be Responsible for
the Crow Trouble


BILLINGS (M. IT,, October 6th-The dis
satisfaction among the Crows, eliminating
in the recent outbreak, dates back to visit
of Sitting Bull and his Sioux braves to the
Custer battle ground last summer, where
they had commemorative dance, and he
addressed the Crows something like this /:
Look at that monument. That marks
the work of my people. We are respected
and feared by the white man because we
killed his great chief and more than 800 of
his warriors on this spot We receive one
and one-half pounds Of beef per ration,
but you only get half q pound yet we do
not work, but ride and visit our friends as
We please. See your little log houses and
farms. You are the white mans slave
He is teaching you to labor only that you
may lose your war paint The red man
was made by the Great Spirit to hunt and
to fight. 1t is the white mans business to
work. He is only soldier when he is
paid.'

Los ANGELES, October 6th.-There is
considerable stir in quiet way in Metho-
dist circles over a church trial which is
now being carried on with closed doors in
the Fort-street NJ. L. Church At the
Methodist Conference recently held in this
city there was talk concerning charges
which were to be preferred against Rev.
James H. White, who was in charge of the
flock at Soledad.
Nothing came of it then beyond the fact
that it appeared upon the Conference rec.
ords that Whites case was referred to the
Presiding Elder for investigation. White
however, was not assigned to any field OF
labor in the general apportionment OF
places.
The Presiding Elder. assisted bv Com
mission composed Of five ministers, is now
investigating the matter, and it has leaked
out that some sensational facts have been
developed. The charges upon which
White is being investigated is conduct un-
becoming minister. The Commission
will probably be in session several DAYS.

HE CAME GIT ALIVE.

On the 3lst of May last the big
cotton warehouse OF John S. Rich
ards at the foot of King street, New
York, was destroyed by fire. It has
been a tradition of the neighborhood
ever since that somebody had been
burned in the fire. To-day, while
the men were engaged in clearing
out the warehouse, they dug out a
man from the debris. Tangled strings
of cotton hung from his shabby beard
and ragged clothes. His knees shook
under him and his sunken eyes shun-
ned the day.
When questioned, he said, in weak
voice, that he had been there for q
long time, how long he did not know.
lie was too weak to stand and Pc
liceman Comiskey put him in an ex-
press wagon and took him to the
Prince street station. BY the time
the officials had got through with
him he had been endowed with a
pedigree by the superstitious crowd
to the effect that he had been asleep
IN his den on the night of the fire
five months ago, when an avalanche
OF cotton fell on him and made him a
prisoner. The oil on the cotton and
the water that soaked through had
kept him alive.
The fact was that the man, whose.
name was John Reagin, had been
thrown out of work by one of the
big strikes at Fall River, and came
down here to look for work. Find
ing none, he roamed around without
home or food until last Saturday or
Sunday, he did not clearly remember.
When passing through Charlton
street he saw hole in the wall, and
crawled in and made bed in the
cotton. Next day when he wanted
TO get out the hole was nailed in,
and unable to find his way out he
lay down to die. He had been with
out food for five months when the
workmen reached him.

fore us the wretched spectacle Of

licly ayowing union with those who
deny the faith, and call the fall Of

ty of the Holy Ghost"
Replying to the question why he
does not start new denomination,
he says that is a question for which
he has no liking; that there are
enough denominations already, and
that il another were formed the
thieves and robbers who have enter
ed other gardens, walled around,
would enter it also. So nothing
would be gained. Baptists general
ly regret Mr. Surgeons decision,
and are urging him to reconsider it.

SHAMMING SEVEN MINUTES.

FROM the New 1 oTk Times.
A remarkable case of imposture,
and OF capital shrewdness in exposing
it, came to light a few days ago at
the State prison at Jackson, Mich.
A convict named Brott was sent up
in July of last year for three years
for the crime of larceny. Seven
months ago he began to develop symp-
toms of paralysis. He would sudden
ly fall to the ground while at work,
and claimed that he could not eat
for long periods, all of which ended
in his taking to his bed. The mus
cles of his face became rigid, the
eyes fixed, and he ceased to eat or
speak only as food was fed him with
a spoon. He was apparently deaf
and could not see. In the meantime
physicians from different parts of the
State while visiting the prison had
examined him, and all pronounced
his malady paralysis.
DR.. Williams, the prison physician,
few days ago, became satisfied that
Brott was feigning all his symptoms.
but at the same time he deemed it
nearly impossible tor him to do so.
The doctor hit upon a novel and
amusing plan by which TO expose the
imposture. Calling the attendants
into the hospital in very matter-of-
fact way, he told them in the presence
of Brott that the case was peculiar
one, and that the convict could not
live beyond few days anyway, and
that day he should proceed 70 chic
reform Brott, saw into his skull, and
see what the disease was. The doc
tor then left, and very soon Brett
began to move, and, calling the hos
pital attendant to him, he told that
| officer that he had been shamming
from the start in order to get par
don, and took this course to elicit
sympathy in his behalf. Brott was
at once routed out of bed, and two
days later he was at work in the
paint shop and has been there ever
since. DIR. Williams says he has
heard of one similar case in this
country, but one only.
